A FLASH-FLOOD WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR STVINCENT AND THE
GRENADINES UNTIL 6:00 am 24th November 2024
Issued at 6:00 pm, Tuesday 23rd November, 2024
.... Weather Advisory upgraded to a Flash-Flood Warning ....
Moderate to heavy showers, gusty winds, periods of rain and frequent thunderstorm activity are
anticipated tonight across St. Vincent and the Grenadines as a surface trough affects our islands.
Due to the recent rainfall events, soils remain saturated across our islands and any additional rainfall
increases the risk of land slippage and flash flooding. Model guidance suggests that accumulations of
near 50 millimeter (2 inches) with isolated higher amounts in mountainous areas are likely to persist into
Sunday.
As a result, the weather advisory that is already in effect for St. Vincent and the Grenadines has now
been upgraded to a flash-flood warning until 6:00 am Sunday 24th, November 2024. Residents and
motorists in areas prone to flooding and landslides or near rivers and streams should take the
necessary precautionary measures to protect life and property.
A Flash-Flood Warning is issued when flooding is imminent or is already occurring.
